Featured Reviews

Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Parth Buch - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamlessly manages security and dynamic content hosting in diverse applications
Hosting static content or with engineering dynamic content is beneficial. CloudFront provides a common access point, manages routing to different methods, and serves as an access point plus API routing. With AWS, maintenance is not required as it's a service offered by AWS which maintains itself. Security concerns are manageable through AWS's security mechanisms, with additional security enhancement possible through options like WAF and NACL.
Edgar Mart - PeerSpot reviewer
Works without interruption, scales well, and has perfect uptime
Our website works without interruption almost until late at night, as many students have the opportunity to study in the evening. Most of all, we appreciate the stable and fast work of g-core. Uptime is always perfect. With such a volume of data as we have, failures can occur from time to time. The support solves everything in the shortest possible time. I love that the guys are constantly trying to improve the service. Our online school is expanding every year, and there are no problems that our provider can’t solve. They also have the opportunity to negotiate individual conditions for complex sites.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its usability."
"The solution is very good at mitigating threats."
"Cloudflare consolidates various capabilities into one product, streamlining processes."
"The attacker won't have details since my public IP is anonymous. It offers us good privacy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security."
"It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a ten out of ten...I rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"New and innovative way to protect the client's data."
"It's a great product because it's scalable, has great coverage, and is mature with good defenses against DDoS attacks."
"The most beneficial feature is capturing the static data, which is crucial for our operations."
"We can personalize a lot of things inside CDN."
"Hosting static content or with engineering dynamic content is beneficial."
"Amazon CloudFront is a stable solution."
"The solution makes our platform fully accessible and available globally, helping us to ensure that our customers can rely on it being up and running."
"The solution has good security features."
"The product is very well interconnected with other Amazon services."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the availability of the websites."
"Since transitioning to G-Core, our site has started working much faster, and freezes have stopped. Users are staying on the site longer and visiting more sections. We increased the number of customers by 30 percent in the past six months. This is partially attributable to G-Core services."
"The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly."
"Uptime is always perfect."
"The CDN interface is intuitive and user-friendly, and there are no intrusive ads or upselling additional services. Everything is self-contained, and it's a convenient CDN overall. We also loved that they provided a free trial period. They always seem to do what's best for the consumer and the internet."
 

Cons

"There should be a specific price list for enterprise-level customers."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"Cloudflare could be improved by introducing a mid-tier pricing option."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"It should confirm audit findings of the assigned area with auditees to ensure that the audit conclusions are based on an accurate understanding of the issues."
"One area of improvement is in the Access Rules. Hypothetically, if we wanted to block or challenge traffic outside of the United States, the only way to currently do that (as far as I know) is to enter every single country outside of the United States. That could be a labor intensive job. A solution could be to enable users to create a rule where traffic is only allowed within a certain country."
"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."
"The product should be more intuitive."
"With a mixed stack, things become a problem. With GCP and Azure, the DNS setup gets tricky when using CloudFront."
"I would like to see an increase in distribution regions in Africa. There are currently only a few regions available."
"Amazon CloudFront can improve by accurately determining the latency of a non-defined URL that the solution encounters."
"Sometimes, the server goes down automatically."
"The solution could be more simplified for new users. It could be more user-friendly."
"There is a bit of a workaround required for custom domain management on CloudFront."
"There are some solutions needed for integration that are not free."
"I would like to have one optimized report that we could use for our own needs."
"Once in the past six months, we got a "site is unavailable" error for a maximum of 20 minutes."
"It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later."
"There are some nuances in the tariff configurations that we found confusing. We would like more flexibility in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing for the service is reasonable, neither excessively cheap nor prohibitively expensive. It aligns well with the value of their solution."
"I believe their performance has improved, but I'd like to refrain from discussing the pricing aspect related to the cloud. The pricing, in my opinion, could be simplified, and I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high. At times, this cost can make it challenging to choose CARFAGuard or opt for the support."
"The solution is expensive when compared to other products but offers unlimited bandwidth."
"Cloudflare's pricing is not much higher and is good for middle-level organizations."
"The product's pricing is cheap."
"The product's pricing is minimal compared to other products."
"We are using the free tier of the solution."
"I rate Amazon CloudFront's pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool is affordable."
"Its price is really on the high side. It should be cheaper in general."
"Amazon CloudFront is an expensive solution."
"Amazon's pricing varies depending on the data transfer."
"For CloudFront, I'm quite satisfied with the pricing. Initially, it doesn't require many resources for this specific solution."
"The product has a mid-range pricing."
"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing follows a pay-as-you-go model."
"The price of G-Core Labs CDN is very reasonable in comparison with other companies. We've done a lot of research into CDN providers, and G-Core offers the best service for the lowest cost."
